Charlotte woman says same man broke into her apartment twice this month

A Charlotte woman who claims a man broke into her home and tried to sexually assault her two weeks ago, says he has broken in again.

The woman said she was sleeping at Tanglewood Apartments on Wynbrook Way, when the man broke into her bedroom window and tried to assault her the first time, on Nov. 16.

The woman's nephew told WBTV the same man broke into the same window Thursday around 5:30 a.m., which was confirmed by police.

The nephew said the man also performed a sexual act in front of his aunt. Police did not comment on that.

The nephew traveled from out of town to stay with his aunt, who he says is bedridden with disabilities. He says there will be family members staying with her in shifts until they find a new place for her to live.

“You're having to sleep with lights on, you're having to always have somebody around, you're always looking over your shoulder, you're afraid to take a shower by yourself because you don't know if this person's going to be peeking through your window,” he said. “Or if he's going to come through another window...it's frightening more for her, than anything.”

After the reported Nov. 16 attempted assault, police gave a description of a man between 20-25 years old with a thin build. The man is around 6-feet tall, according to CMPD.

If you have any information, you're asked to immediately call 911 or Crime Stoppers at 704-334-1600.
